For example, when displaying a branch or tag folder <span><b class="application">eSvn</b></span> adds the <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="images/b-16x16.png"></span> or <span class="inlinemediaobject"><img src="images/t-16x16.png"></span>. These will not be displayed if the project structure does not use
                                  the trunk, branches, and tags method. In addition the functionality of the
                                    <tt class="interfacename">URL wizard</tt> to automatically change paths will no longer function.
